If you are looking for a shady playground that is fully fenced and perfect for a playdate, then look no further than TC Beirne Park in Hendra.
TC Beirne Park
This lovely Hendra park on Brisbane’s northside is the perfect playground for toddlers with numerous play opportunities throughout the fully fenced area.
A colourful play structure will entice children featuring a bridge, slides, tunnel, net and climbing rings.
Several other freestanding pieces of equipment will provide plenty of fun including a nest swing, spinning rope pyramid, wobbly surfboard, spinning disc, and springers.
Aside from the traditional play equipment you will find a cool, blue and yellow aeroplane structure which will evoke imaginative play, as budding pilots pretend to fly the plane or perhaps just use it to climb on.
For those who prefer road vehicles, a truck-like metal structure, complete with wheels, seats and steering wheel graces the play area and is always popular. I wonder how many passengers you can fit on/in your truck??
Outside the fenced area you will find an accessible toilet, bins, water tap, several seating options, open grassy space for ball games and outdoor exercise equipment (under a shade sail).
Imagination Factor at TC Beirne Park
Brisbane Kids can use the truck and plane structures for lots of different play involving the imagination. With a group of toddlers this could prove to be a huge adventure.
Running games, tiggy, or hide and seek could be on the cards for active children, while those craving some quieter activities could sit under the shade of a tree and daydream, read a book or gaze into the treetops to see what they might discover.
Accessibility at TC Beirne Park
This park is not overly accessible though it is fully fenced, has a concrete path running through it and has accessible toilets.
It is beautiful shaded playground, thanks to the massive, established trees and contains several seating options in and outside of the fenced area.
There is a chip bark base throughout, with soft fall under some equipment including the nest swing, spinner and exercise equipment.

What We Thought of TC Beirne Park
This fully fenced and very shady playground is just perfect for toddlers and parents with multiple children. Several parent groups where sitting on picnic rugs under the trees when we visited, while others were having fun outside the fenced area kicking a ball.
Older children will enjoy the spinning equipment, but it may be an idea to bring a ball, or something else to entertain them if visiting with children of varying ages.
